So much is expected of a bonnet
nowadays that a competent bonnet
maker has a trade requiring not skilled
labor merely but artistic capabilities,
and for no small number of crafts
women, an apprenticeship longer and
more severe than the average doctor or
lawyer undergOes in the professional
schools. Millinery, indeed, has grown
into a profession, difficult profession,
but one which, when mastered thor
oughly, pays woman better than al
most any wage-earning pursuit she
can enter.

Russia at midas Gates.

The year 1886 has witnessed the
completion of a marvellous enterprise
which, in the holiness of its concep-
ton and the Importance of its results,
is destined to take rank with the pierre
ing of the Isthmus of Suez, the estab-
lishment of trans-oceanic telegraphy
and the formation of the Pacific rail-
way. The iron highway which Russia
has constructed across the deserts of
Central Asia has reached the gates of
Indiai By means of this line
Russia will have the control of Herat
and Candahar. and may at once throw
an army into Persia or Afghanistan, or
even invade the Peninsula of India,
while England is separated from her
Indian possessions by sea-voysge of
twenty days at the very least! Nor is
the commercial importance of the new
line less than its strategical.
Moreover this colossal enterprise has
been quietly carried out for Russia

Up to the present time we have re-

must not forget that in the present con-
dition of optics it is difficult practically
to apply to the study of the moon q

times. To see this world two thousand
times nearer than il is in the sky is only
to bring it within forty-eighf leagues.
Now what can be clearly Distinguished

THE VILLA PRESNY.

Baron Adoiphe Rothschild's Lovely Retreat
on the Shores of Lake Geneva.
| When Baron Adolphe, who married
his cousin of Vienna, had one of those
| fits of mortal ennui which seem like the
hereditary curse of their opulence, he
suddenly conceived violent desire to
possess Villa Pregny, a small domain
situated on the loveliest hillside of the
slopes overlooking the Lake of Geneva,
about two miles distant from the city.
and possessing every charm that nature
and Swiss scenery can confer. He
narrowly, eagerly disputed the price,
but finding the owner firm he consented
to give the sum required. for, as he re-
marked. "Pregny has the one thing
which, with all my money, can not
get, for l can not grow trees six hun
dred years old"
That was twenty years ago, and the
unpretending little villa was at once
swept away and magnificent building
erected on the site where it stood. II
is square, something after the style of
the old French chateaux, and its daz-
zling whiteness proclaims its recent
origin as much as the absence of all
antecedents or associations. The tour
list and the traveller are rarely allowed
the privilege of visiting Pregny. The
owners do not follow the example of
the grande seigneurs of England, Italy
and France, who, when they are the
possessors of historical houses filled
with treasures of art, consider them
selves only Us landlords. and deem il
duty to admit the stranger to view
their heritage.
The entrance to the principal court
is by splendid wrought-iron gates; the
gardens are so marvelously laid out
that on a comparatively restricted ex-
'se tie roads and paths seem to
h and wind for miles. The
DIS are profusely stocked with
hrubs and flowers, cOnservatories
z with exotics, winter gardens
ming gigantic tropical trees, avia-
He'd with foreign birds of rare
.ge. A riding school like the one
aantilly can be converted into a
INNER ballroom; numerous guard
lans in gray liveries pace the grounds;
they see that not a leaf rests on the
velvety swards, that not faded bios
som remains on plant or shrub.
In the interior of the residence gold
is profusely scattered on tables, mir
rors, walls and ceilings; the carved
cabinets contain within their glass
doors a varied collection of antique
china, worries, old silver and jewelry,
purchased wholesale for fabulous prices
at the antiquaries, who have standing
order to forward any rare specimen.
All around the garish and human mag
nificence of Pregny lies in oppressive
contrast the statelier, calmer. grander
magnifcence of lake, mountain and
sky.-Foreiqn Cor. N. Y. Sun.

In WIG AND GOWN.
Exposure Of that very Superior
Girl" Taylor.

Lady Hayward was expected every
minute at Hayward Castle, and the
great entrance door stood wide open.
spite of the cold. There were three or
four men servants standing in the hall.
while the old gray-headed butler took
up his position on the steps. Lord
Hayward came and stood by him a
few seconds at time AMI listened for
the wheels, and then went back and
fdgeted about the hall, whistling to
him self. Evidently he was very un-
easy about something or other. No
body supposed for moment that that
something or other was connected with
Lady Hayward; she had never given
him moments uneasineS>. She was
the most precise and perfect of women.
always in the right and fully aware of
the fact, and Lord Hayward, who was
a very good fellow. accustomed to re-
gard himself as not ovcrburdened with
brains, was very anxious to talk TO her
about something that worried him.
The house party was a large one. in
fact the castle was full. But every
body was upstairs. the first dressing
bell having rung If Lady Hayward
was much longer there would be no
time to speak to her before dinner.
Why, queried Lord Hayward. GROSSLY,
were the down trains on that con-
founded line always late?

business. and leaving Lord Hayward to
entertain the guests during her short
absence, had gone alone, or rather
with her maid. She had stayed the
night in town in order to bring with
her a new dress FOR ball which was to
be given at the castle the following
evening.
At last the carriage dashed up to the
door, driven very fast, for the coach
man knew it was late. The first per-
son who emerged from il was an ex-
ceedingly quiet looking, well dressed
young woman-the maid. evidently.
She quickly disappeared. and was fol-
lowed by Lady Hayward, who instantly
seized her husbands arm and began to
scold him, no matter about what
probably because the train was late.
She scolded in the most ladylike way;
her voice was clear and slightly shrill;
she herself was like a pretty doll just
out of bandbox; always dressed ac-
cording to the latest Paris fashion,
always perfectly neat and in order and
quite aware of her own good looks; in
manners and morals absolute perfec-
ton, and quite aware of that, too.
Il want to speak to YOU" said Lord
Hayward. 'before you dress; there's
Just time.
He followed her up to her dressing
room, where tea was waiting on lit
tie table by the fire. Lady Hayward S
maid had just put an easy wrapper
temptingly ready. and was busy get
ting out dinner dress fog her mistress.
al will ring for you in a few minutes,
Taylor, said Lady Hayward; and the
perfectly trained servant vanished at
once.
ST wonder whether it's that girl,
after air. exclaimed Lord Hayward
'yet it seems impossible"
Don't talk enigmas," said Lady
Hayward, imperiously; "there isn't
time. What is the matter?" She was
pouring out her tea as she spoke, and
now began to sip it.
sMore things have disappeared"
said Lord Hayward. in low voice,
Sand this time it's worse. The old
Duchess has lost big diamond ring.
